I got hooked on Popcaan’s music with his irresistible early run of rowdy party anthems, and in recent years have often hoped for more in that vein. But his slow, seductive love/sex songs have always been a strong point too; “Addicted” is a stellar example of the latter. The singalong this got at Poppy’s debut London show in July was insane! — Gabriel Heatwave
